What do you think about this?
On the morning of April 6, 1966, in the Melbourne suburb of Clayton South, hundreds of schoolchildren watched something they would argue about for the rest of their lives. Students and teachers at Westall High School, out on the grounds, looked up to see a silver grey object, round with a domed top, moving across the sky in broad daylight.
By many accounts it descended behind a stand of pine trees near an open field known as the Grange, sat for a time, then rose and shot away at high speed. Some witnesses said several small aircraft appeared and seemed to circle it before it left. More than two hundred people are said to have seen it. Children ran toward the field, teachers tried to hold them back, and by afternoon adults in suits were reportedly walking the grounds telling everyone to say nothing.
No official explanation ever satisfied the witnesses. Weather balloon, they were told. A training exercise. Yet the people who were there, now grown old, still describe the same craft, the same silence afterward, the same feeling of being told to forget.
Could it be that two hundred ordinary schoolchildren, watching the same thing in daylight, saw exactly what they said they saw?
A stray balloon and a convenient cover story, or something that truly came down in that paddock? What do you think landed at Westall?
What do you think about this? Scans of Gunung Padang in Indonesia show hidden chambers deep inside the hill, and one team dated its oldest layers to 25,000 years ago. The study was retracted in 2024. The chambers have never been opened. Natural hill, or the oldest pyramid on Earth?
What do you think about this? Edgar Cayce gave over 14,000 trance readings, all written down and still on file. He said proof of Atlantis would rise near Bimini in 1968. That year divers found a half mile road of giant stone blocks there. True seer, or lucky guess?
What do you think about this? Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky built a 500 foot tunnel just to move its dead out of sight of the living. It closed in 1961. Visitors still report a boy rolling a ball across empty floors. Restless spirits, or a dark building playing tricks on the mind?
What do you think about this? In 1891, a poor French priest named Bérenger Saunière began tearing up his church floor, then spent the next two decades funding lavish buildings on a stipend that should not have covered it. Real treasure, or a secret about how he ran his church?
What do you think about this? Puma Punku’s H-shaped stone blocks, cut from andesite by a culture dating to roughly 600 CE, are flat to within a couple millimeters, with no known metal tools hard enough to do it. Lost technique, or something we haven’t caught up to yet?
What do you think about this? The Georgia Guidestones were commissioned anonymously in 1979 by a man calling himself R.C. Christian, and no one ever learned his real name before the monument was bombed on July 6, 2022. Message, or a monument that did not deserve to stand?
